The Frilled Lizard Robot is a smart super lizard with artificial intelligence (AI). Similar to the original from Australia, when this robot feels threatened, it gapes its mouth, flashes its eyes, & dramatically spreads & flaps its frill (pleated material that encircles its head) in a threatening manner. If you are not intimidated by these shenanigans, it then turns around, front & back legs erratically move as if it were scampering away from danger. The Frilled Lizard Dragon Robot by OWI has an infrared sensor that is programmed to âescapeâ or âfollow-meâ. If the infrared sensor is activated in the âescapeâ mode the robot will automatically act âshocked!â, spreading its frill, dropping its jaw, illuminates its bicolor LED eyes & will scurry away until it escapes to a safe distance. If the infrared sensor is switched to the âfollow-meâ mode using the 2 way function switch, then the robot will assess danger by bluffing the attacker (unfurling & shaking its frill). When the robot does not sense danger it might approach you like a pet lizard. Thank goodness, that unlike the wacky frilled lizard that roams in Australiaâs tropical woodl&, OWIâs Frilled Lizard Robot is whimsically kooky & fun to build. Key Features
